What is ATPof energy?
ATP is a chemical used by living beings for short-term storage of energy.
What is the temporary energy storage molecule for living cells?
For short-term energy storage, living beings use ATP.
What are bad things about mechanical energy?
Storage of mechanical energy can be difficult and may necessitate lossy conversions to other forms. Pumping water uphill into a hydro-power generation reservoir is used, but not widely, so appears to be short on advantages.
Which wavelength carries more energy short or long?
Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)
Compounds used to store energy in organisms?
Please be more specific, different organisms use different compunds.Humans either use their liver to store glycogen (short term) or can store fat for the long run.ProteinLipids and CarbohydratesGrid Energy Storage
What provides short-term energy storage for animals?
Glucose is a key factor in short-term energy storage for both Plants and Animals.
What macromolecule provides short term energy storage for plants?
im trying to figure that same thing out ): Well try no longer. The answer is a monosacharide called glucose C6H12O6

What type of organic compound provides the best energy storage?
Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar) and as intermediate-term energy storage (starch for plants and glycogen for animals). Fats and oils function in long-term energy storage. Fats yield 9.3 Kcal/gm, while carbohydrates yield 3.79 Kcal/gm. Fats thus store six times as much energy as glycogen.
Why is ATP only good for short term storage?
the energy from atp is stored in its high-energy phosphate bonds, this energy is released when the bonds are broken therefore atp can only be used as a short term storage for energy
Where is energy stored in livng things?
Energy in living beings is stored as chemical energy. For long-term energy storage a sugar is used; for short-term energy storage, ATP.
What organic compound stores and releases short term energy?
Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar).
How do plants use respiration to release the energy they need to grow?
The process is almost identical to the process animals use. The plantc cells break down simple sugars in the cytosol, and use the chemical energy that is released to phosphorylate short-term energy storage molecules. These molecules move to the mitochondrion, where they give their energy to an electron transport system that generates ATP, which is the molecule that provides energy for most of the reactions that happen in the cell. The difference between plants and animals is that animals have to eat sugars to power respiration, and plants create them using photosynthesis.
Carbohydrates and lipids are used to store energy in living organisms?
Yes, both types of macromolecules are used for energy storage. The most important distinction is that carbohydrates are used for short-term storage while lipids are used for long-term storage in animals. Carbs are usually the sole storage in plants.
What is ATPof energy?
ATP is a chemical used by living beings for short-term storage of energy.
What polysaccharides is the form of short term energy storage in animals?
glycogen
Which molecule results in short term storage of energy?
Glycogen
